What causes sudden blurred vision in one eye?
Blurry vision also may be a symptom of a detached retina, eye herpes or optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), among other causes. Certain eye conditions and diseases can cause permanent loss of vision, so it's important to visit your eye care practitioner for diagnosis and prompt treatment. Cataracts.
Eye herpes :-(
Seriously, speaking as someone who recently suffered eye problems (injected in the eyeball and didn't even flinch - just saying) don't waste your time going to your GP. They know fūck all about eyes and will simply tell you to see an opthalmologist. So just try and get an emergency appointment at Vision Express in the Nugent as your first point of call.
The surgery in the village near me has mostly what I call 'middle aged housewife doctors' in that they are all middle aged women who have almost certainly had children and are now back at work on a part time basis. And they are all pretty much hopeless.
I went in to see one not so long ago with three minor issues. When I described the first one she immediately turned to her computer, went to the NHS website we can all access and read to me what it said and concluded 'just let it be for a while and see if it goes away'. For the second issue she did the same thing. At which point I made my goodbyes and didn't bother raising the third issue.
Probably a TIA - transient ischemic attack.
My old man had one a few years ago and it was simply blurred vision in one eye which was the issue. He was on his iPad at the time so naturally he assumed it was on the blink, so he got into his car and drove two miles out the road to his Ipad man.
:-\
Hospital later that evening.
One was a trip finger. She recommended waiting until it went away. 3 years later or so I still have it. The second was to get a referral for a hernia which was subsequently operated on. Can't remember the third.
But it was not rectal or genital related. Despite being as heterosexual as they come, any rectal or genital issues I would insist on a male doctor.
That's not weird, is it?
Takes one to ...

This is Vision Express, right? Faceless corporate chain, right? So a couple of months ago I sat on my glasses and walked in there to order a new pair. As a joke I handed the girl the mangled remains and asked if she had a bin. Five minutes later they were returned to me, perfectly fixed and at no charge. Today I wander in and explain my plight, get dealt with like an Ayrab in Harley Street, examinations, eyedrops, bottle of gear to take away, referral letter just in case - and no charge. Gratis and for nothing.
It's fúcking bizarre.
It's the onions which cause those tears
